I used our games Saturday, Oct. 17, to make sure everyone got a chance to play, we tried some new things such as players playing in different positions and made sure our last game of the season was memorable for the seniors.” They may not have been focused on winning, but the Outlaws proved once again staying happy and scrappy serves this team well.
